Gold Miner Vegas is an arcade game that I just don't know where to put. I was not tracking them since we really have few players here. I will not count it for now, unless I get a brainstorm under what category is fair.

Ana, I'm puzzled as to why Mortimer is a HOG. Basically, unless my memory is very faulty, it's like The Incredible Machine Series, where you figure out where to put what in how many moves. There aren't any hidden objects--you're given the stuff you can use at the start of each level. This is not Mortimer Beckett; this is a little purple blob--it is a BFG game, but it's 2005, if that helps.

Well, I just think we have too many Mortimers around here. Thanks for clarifying, and I put it back in. I hope my list is correct now. It's been fun to do this, but really hard to narrow down the HOGs.

Ana, I didn't list 10 HOGS so may I please add Robinson Crusoe? I've been playing it straight since I downloaded this morning and reluctantly quit as my nether parts are saying "Get up and move already!"

Thanks for doing this

That's good. I had Book of Legends in Adventure Lite, but moved it over to HOG. Wow, never dawned on me that Gourmania was a HOG. It sure felt like time management with all that cooking going on. Are you sure it's not TM? I'm so confused.

Thanks Ana. It was a great idea and I appreciate all the work you spent compiling this complicated list.

To the Boomers who are checking the list, I want to personally recommend two little gems I voted for. If you didn't care for Rainbow Web, don't hesitate to try Rainbow Web 2 - it's a much improved version and great fun. I must have played it through to the end at least 50 times. Tropix was a cute game but Tropix 2: Quest for the Golden Banana is exceptionally well done and almost like an Adventure Lite game except you can keep replaying your favorite mini games to earn the money to progress in the adventure portion of the game.
